Iron for Fruit Trees.

An observant Connecticut farmer
discovered several years ago that a
peach and an apple tree INTO which
some nails had been driven fiourished
and bore beyond all comparison with
the rest Of the orchard, Theteupon he
went to blacksmith shops and bought
oXidized iron flakes that fall from
iron when beng treated on the anvil.
These he renched about the trees, and
now and then he drives spike into
an apple or peach tree. His trees are
more prolific and the fruit much finer
than that raised by neighboring far.

The cross.cut north from west end
of 1st shaft level has been extended
eight feet--total length tifty.eight feet.
About midway in this crosse cut a drift

first shaft level an uprase has been
commenced, going up on the foot-wall
In sonth- westerly direction, it is now
up about sixteen feet, and shows a
small ledge Of ore. Slopes above the
first shaft level continue about the
same as last reported. The tunnel at
top of main incline has been extended
ten feet-total length seventy feet

is being sunk and tim bered below the

Nitre.

Nitre is one Of the most valuable
salts in commercial use. In addition
to the quantity required in the manu-
tacture of gnn-powder, there are vari-
Gus and increasing demands for it for
other purposes. 1t is found IN nature
in but few localities, that is in such
quantities as to pay, and the large
nitre beds of Chill and Perm were of
sufficient consequence to cause
destructive war between those Nations
in which Chilli came out victor, and
over her victory The narrow nation
has been Growing ever since. These
nitre beds supply nitrate of soda often
called "Chili saltpeter.' This is not
SO valuable-that is not so generally
useful-as nitrate of potassa, or as it
is better known, saltpeter, which has
been discovered by the party which
went out from here week before
last The discovery was made as an.
ticipated on one of the fats east of the
ellis range, where there are indica.
tions that ages ago, possibly thousands
of years, there was prodigious DIES.
truction of fish life. An experienced
geologist, one Of the party, explains
this curious deposit by the theory
that this was the last pool in which
the fish of u prehistoric LAKE found
refuge, as the lake was drained by
some CONFUSION Of nature, and that
here, when the water was finally
drawn off, they all perished and their
bodies, decomposing in the presence
of the proper mineral bases, the pres
ent deposit of saltpeter was formed.
The extent of the saltpeter bed is not
yet definitely known but the discov-
erers have reason for Believing that it
is very large. Pans for testing ON a
large scale have bean sent FOR, but no
plant for practical working will be
procured, until the probable amount,
to be obtained, can be ascertained.
The tests for inter are simple. Nearly
all nltrates desolve in water much
more quickly than any other salts,
found with them. Saltpeter Is one OF
the Most easily so'aul=, and this fact
gives the proapeoto. ne t,st by which
he can determine lis ssence. He
takes quantity of the e. h which he
supposes may contain nire, puts it in
pan Of warm water stirs 1t quickly
lets 1t settle and immediately ponrs
off the small quantity of clear water
which begins to show on the top.
This is solution of nitre, more or less
strong, should there be any In the
sample. There may also be other salts
held in solution, but the quickly dis
solving nitre will preponderale. The
water is then carefully evaporated and
the residue, if thrown on not coal,
will show whether or not it contains
saltpeter. There are various chemical
tests which can be applied to the
water, as soon as it is drawn off but
few prospectors care to carry chemic.
ais and the above test can always be
made. As soon as it Is known, GER
tainly, that the newly discovered
deposit is large enough to justify the
outlay, an evaporating plant will be
placed ON the ground, as there is
plenty Of capital interested in the
venture, and lack of funds Will nol
prevent the addition of a most impor.
tant industry to the already great re-
sources Of Esmeralda County.

Ii will last life time and its range OF

WARRANTED FOR FIVE YEARS.
Among the many advantages OF the
White machine are its needle, self-setting in
every sense ofthe word-always right.
1t has the least complicated, the most
simple, durable and complete shuttle ever
made, simplicity in threading being an es-
pecial feature. The shuttle tension is so
arranged that You can increase il or de-
crease il without removing the shuttle from
the machine or disarranging the work.
All wearing parts of the White are made
adjustable, so that any lost motion incident
TO long usage can be easily taken up, thus
avoiding the delay and expense in duplica-
ting parts The simplicity in threading the
White is unequaled by any other machine,
and we would particularly call attention
